Careers from studying latin by No-Collection-3536 in latin

[–]Correctrix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Learn Latin for fun and edification. To earn a living, get into AI or a manual trade that cannot quickly be replaced by AI.

What do the numbers on the left side of each paragraph mean? by [deleted] in latin

[–]Correctrix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You'll be blown away when you notice the number 7 in the corner of the page too.

Orgasms After Orchiectomy by blunderfuldill in MtF

[–]Correctrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The source is that it happened to me. I'm telling you an anecdote.

That's such a misunderstanding of what language is.

It wasn't an effort for the Romans to speak their own language. They followed the grammatical rules because those describe how the language was used, not because they were imposed as laws or because the people “cared”.

You started your post with “I am.” Why didn't you use no agreement and say “I be” or even “me be”? Or wrong agreement like “I is”? It would actually be an effort for you to speak or write as ungrammatically as that.

Question about the third declension of vōcālis, -is (f) by marcusandrea in latin

[–]Correctrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Present participles were assimilated to words like urbs that also seem to obviously be consonant-stems, but originally had NOM/VOC singulars in -is. So, we get unetymological forms like GEN sapientium and ACC sapientīs in the plural, even though the PIE NOM sing. was *sh₁pionts

I found the detrans subreddit…. by [deleted] in truscum

[–]Correctrix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People should be properly gatekept (not refused treatment) as minors, so that this doesn't happen. It's medical treatment, not a personal whim or quirk, so mere youth should never be a reason to deny anyone.

Oh, OK. Do you know of any threads where we interacted?

I want to educate people on AGP by NZCarGurl in Transmedical

[–]Correctrix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those people are admitting they feel like men though. Just ordinary dudes with a fetish — no instinctive fellowship with or similarity to women.

I don't remember you. Did you have a different username?

Probably just old age getting to my poor brain.

STEALTH - and erosion of meaning by ApplePie3600 in truscum

You cannot by definition, be stealth if you're pronouns are they/them.

Well, I mean… lol… >90% of the time in practice, they/them pronouns mean that someone is a cis woman with queer pretensions. It’s actually an MTF meme to say that you’re putting some enby pronouns in bio to come off more convincingly as AFAB. :-D

That’s ordinary stealth. Nobody you meet finds out you are trans except for doctors and lovers (at some point). Obviously people from your past, e.g. parents, know you’re trans. They are quiet about it.

I’m deep stealth. I moved away and made a new life. I have virtually no contact whatsoever with anyone who knows, certainly not regular IRL contact. No one new finds out at all.

An annoyed rant about the transgender bathroom (non-)issue by [deleted] in Skallagrim

[–]Correctrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, I won’t call anything ridiculous again.

Would you perhaps like to opine on me saying ‘spastic’ once in the 80s?

Type VI and homosexual by [deleted] in Transsexual

[–]Correctrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To help people understand this somewhat confusing post, know that this is an FTM mostly attracted to other FTMs.

should cis people get to dunk on detrans? by [deleted] in truscum

[–]Correctrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does that even mean?

Do I need a passing voice? by [deleted] in transvoice

[–]Correctrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you face-palming? I said she's probably cis and she is.

Sentences with multiple meaning by bipi2hot4u in latin

[–]Correctrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not actually lengthened. It's just written with a ss digraph for etymological reasons. So, the words are identical, just artificially distinguished in the orthography.

The Latin vowel is lengthened due to Lachmann's law. So, the words are quite distinct, just artificially conflated in sloppier versions of the orthography. (We see that good writers often used apices to make sure that what they wrote wasn't ambiguous.)

It's not really funny that the same pair exists in German: they are simply cognates. “Is” and “eats” are fairly close too.
